A new Android-run micro console is joining the gaming industry.

Gizmodo reports that Razer is teaming up with Google to make an all new micro console for gamers far and wide. The outlet describes the console as something that will "work as a set-top box for TV shows and movies," but with game playing capabilities as well.

Razer has not released all the juicy details about the upcoming micro console just yet but the press release quotes Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO who said:

"This is a console of the future. Built on Google's incredible Android TV platform, the Razer micro-console incorporates not only hardcore and casual gaming, but music, movies and other entertainment and social applications, all on an affordable system."

The press release hints on how the micro console will operate, saying:

"Android TV is an entertainment interface that allows users to find and enjoy content on their televisions. The Razer micro-console can be navigated with a special mobile application that operates from any Android tablet or smartphone. Voice control is built into Android TV, leaving access to entertainment just a few words away."

The company has not released any other information like the specific release date, specs and price but Engadget speculates that it might be different from Amazon's Fire TV. The outlet says that the difference lies in Razer and Google's micro game console's ability to cater hard gamers as well.

Razer has a good, solid reputation in the gaming industry, says Forbes. "Razer has become quite good at cramming high-end graphics capability into a small form factor, so it will be interesting to see the specs on this new machine when they're announced," Dave Thier says in the Forbes report.

Razer Blade, an ultra thin gaming laptop which has its latest version packing 262 pixels per inch in its 14-inch Quad HD+ 3200x1800 screen, IGZO and IPS touchscreen display panel is just one of the company's creations.

The company also unleashed the Razer Junglecat Mobile Game Controller for the iPhone. The maker promises console gaming-grade controls on a mobile phone with the device.

"Razer's experience in designing high-performance gaming systems, controllers, keyboards and mice will contribute beneficially to the device development," the press release says. "Gaming-related software is also an area Razer knows well. With 9 million active users registered on its platform, the company offers a range of applications for communication, performance optimization, and device personalization."

The micro console has been announced to roll out sometime in fall.
